I like to think I can tell someone's health (in the holistic sense of the word) by talk with them face to face. The people who occupy space in my head tagged 'beautiful' are by and large the ones who are vibrant, outgoing, and meet my eyes with their own sparkly gaze when we talk. <BR/><BR/>I think the beauty myth is about trying to capture this sense of 'sparkly gaze' by selling the idea that you can somehow apply it with product. For me, attraction always begins with conversation. Sure, there's a pure biological response to 'hotness' but I'm not actually attracted, in the broader sense of the word, to 'hot people,' unless they're also 'beautiful', in the holistic sense of the word 'beautiful' I described above.<BR/><BR/>PS, I consider myself a 'male feminist'. Be interested in hearing your words on that. I'd love to be able to go along to a feminist group and discuss some of these ideas with real live people but all the ones I've spoken to won't let me come because I'm a boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1143005843062947592006-03-22T17:37:00.000+12:002006-03-22T17:37:00.000+12:00I don't think something characteristic of most hum...I don't think something characteristic of most human societies qualifies as an "aberration". A system that wasn't one of economic exploitation would be the aberration - that doesn't stop people working towards building one, but facing up to what a radical change it would be might be a good starting point.Psycho Milthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779500926576047736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1142987170890253352006-03-22T12:26:00.000+12:002006-03-22T12:26:00.000+12:00> It is the same sort of force that drives > capit...> It is the same sort of force that drives <BR/>> capitalism I guess.<BR/><BR/>bwahahahahaahahahaha<BR/><BR/>capitalism = competition<BR/><BR/>Oh my god this Darwin talked about how evolution = competition. <BR/><BR/>Wow that means capitalism = evolution. And evolution is like, you know, science. And science = truth.<BR/><BR/>So capitalism = truth<BR/><BR/>Don't I feel secure now supporting a system of economic exploitation. Cos it's natural and the way_things_are! Hell YES!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>*sigh* How about you just stop and think genius. Competition belongs in a chess game, or a round of golf (if that's what floats your boat), it's not natural to the way we organise ourselves socially and economically. I would argue it's an aberration, supported by the ruling elites and it's collaborators...<BR/><BR/>- John AndersonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1142976578474761832006-03-22T09:29:00.000+12:002006-03-22T09:29:00.000+12:00I hate beauty magazines and worse yet that we as h...I hate beauty magazines and worse yet that we as humans look to them for guidance, but from an evolutionary point of view beauty does indeed eeriest to tell health. <BR/>1) prettier people tend to be a little healthier - sometimes sicknesses show up in your looks and also if you have allot of time to care for your looks it implies you are, probably, not struggling against sickness. This is all less true now but still a little true.<BR/>2) Prettier people have been ranked more highly for a long time. They thus tend to be richer slightly smarter, and so forth.<BR/>3) They tend to live slightly happier lives due to the reactions people have to them on the street etc. An ugly woman (or man) walks up a street and people look away - they don’t hate her they just don’t like looking in that direction. But that doesn’t help her feelings.<BR/>A pretty woman walks and everyone looks at her. if she doesn’t want that one day she can just cover up... if she wants a free drink or whatever she can probably get it because people will pay to be able to look at her... power...Beauty is a fairly arbitrary ordering system (i.e. why do we, here I refer to society not me and you, like blond hair? or super slim women?) But society does order people in that way because it screams out for a way to bring order to the world and thus make life a "competition" where guys or girls will compete and some can win and some can loose. Even if a few choose to loose on purpose thousands wil play the game and will after playing it expect the others to show some sort of respect for the winners.<BR/><BR/>It is the same sort of force that drives capitalism I guess.Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624496692217466430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1142959199069044282006-03-22T04:39:00.000+12:002006-03-22T04:39:00.000+12:00I think if you replace the word "healthy" with "fe...I think if you replace the word "healthy" with "fertile" you'll understand what's really going on here. The whole point is to give off the appearance of fecund womanhood whether we're fertile or not! <BR/><BR/>Since babyboomer females have hit menopause, there has been a desperate mad, EXPENSIVE dash to maintain the illusion of nubility so as not to lose out on the temporary access to privilege that male attention provides.<BR/><BR/>Sad, really! As a post-boomer greedily eyeing all the new procedures and techniques that will keep me "f*ckable" long past my breeding years, I feel the anxiety. It really is ALL about our looks, after all.

That's...I agree with you about not blaming people. That's was what I was saying at the end of my post, I don't think the solution is to say 'everyone must stop caring about these things now.' But to challenge the ideology.<BR/><BR/>I still think it's concerning that there's a program which includes giving away free beauty products to women with cancer and that it's called 'look good...feel better'. Even if it's just meeting the demand (and I think it probably goes further and promotes ideas as well), to me it shows how intertwined the ideas of health and beauty are.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212711843307060731noreply@blogger.com
